Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Red River fishing report for March 14, 2025.

The river's looking good today, sitting at about 16.7 feet in Shreveport. We've had a stable water level the past few days, which is great news for us anglers. No need to worry about tides on this river, folks.

Weather-wise, we're in for a beauty. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs around 75°F. Winds are light at 5-10 mph, perfect for getting out on the water. Sunrise was at 7:18 AM, and we'll have daylight until sunset at 7:15 PM.

Fish activity has been picking up lately. The warmer weather has got those bass moving, and we're seeing some nice catches. Largemouth bass in the 3-8 pound range have been common, with a few lucky anglers landing some real lunkers over 10 pounds. Striped bass action has been hot too, especially up near Lake Texoma.

For lures, I'm hearing crankbaits in shad and chartreuse colors are working well. Don't forget your purple and black plastic worms either. If you're after those stripers, live shad is still the ticket.

Catfish have been biting well too. Use your typical catfish baits - stink baits, cut bait, or live minnows. Some real bruiser blues and flatheads have been coming in.

As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying the area around Lock & Dam #5. The river lakes are producing well too. If you're willing to make the drive, the Texas-Oklahoma border area near Lake Texoma is on fire for stripers right now.

Remember, folks, our limit on black bass is 10 per day, with a 14-inch minimum length. For striped bass, it's 5 per day with a 25-inch minimum.

That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines to ya!
